context_page_description: Yepp was Samsung Electronics' digital audio player brand until Samsung decided to retire most of their family brands in February 2011. From then on, their MP3 players were simply branded "Samsung" worldwide until they discontinued all of them late 2013. The brand included a wide range of hard-drive based as well as flash-memory based players. The name is claimed to be an acronym for "young, energetic, passionate person".
context_section_description: Z5(F) is a flash-based digital audio player, made by Samsung Electronics. The interface for Z5(F), which implements transparency effects, was designed by Paul Mercer's Iventor software design company. Paul Mercer previously founded Pixo, the creator of the iPod's operating system. 
  The Z5F has some features, such as an FM radio and a dictaphone, not provided on the Z5.
  To celebrate the sale of one million Z5Fs, Samsung auctioned 10 gold-plated Z5Fs in Korea. 
  The player has the re-designed YEPP logo.
  According to a firmware release schedule on the official YEPP website, Z5(F) should have received a text-file reader on 30 December 2006. The firmware for a text reader was instead released in September 2007 (version 2.51).
  The player was expected to support video playback, but this feature was not included in the official release, pending further testing. The feature was expected to be implemented with a later firmware release.
